Yes, Sally, cats are not to be underestimated with their abilities once they set their mind to do something. It's do or die trying. Good job. I enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing. Jan

great, Sal. "young children ran at the sight of him" is a great line. I had a similar battle with my 1.5 lb. kitten and my housemate's $600 "german Shorthair bird dog in training. it ended after one swipe, some vet bills and a Birddog with two noses. neatly separated in the middle. love your stories..............meeshu

Comment from Kathleen Washnis
I love your Catzilla stories as it is so enjoyable on many levels! I, being a cat person has a lot to do with it but your writing is not boring and I long to keep reading this unlike other peoples long winded stories that I must step away from. A true funny story to share with you Sally: my sister's cat Pumpkin is cute but deadly! LOL! He is a white and orange cat who chose them and became their cat as he was an outdoor cat and loves to go outside. One day, some lady was walking her dog and Pumpkin must have scratched or did something to the dog because the lady had her dog in her arms (not a small dog either!) and said, " your cat attacked my dog!" Too funny, our little Pumpkin! So yes, this story is relatable to me! Signed, definitely a fan of yours, "Kat"hleen!

Thank you so much for the outstanding review. Pumpkin sounds just adorable...what a name for cat! Pumpkin and Catzilla Junior...maybe a love sequel? Two tabby cats of equal proportions. I have been nominated for Story of the Momth with Thanksgiving 1967. This will be a first for me of this caliber. Just to be nominated is an honor. I appreciate you so much and for all your kind words and for loving all my writing and the amount of encouragement you constantly give me. I do not take it lightly.
All my best,
Sally xo

it is an honor to be your fan and I am honored that you became my very first fan as you made me feel immediately welcome here! I must tell you, I received my first kind of negative review on "A Star Is Born" from someone so it's easy to first react defensively but then I realize not everyone is going to like my style of writing and find more fault than good. It's ok, God created us all differently and what may be appreciated by one person may be soured by another. I graciously thanked them and asked if there was anything else wrong with it as I remember watching Charles Stanley from In Touch Ministry teach that!
-
By the way, congratulations on being nominated for Story of the Month!! That's awesome!! How does the voting work? Can I vote too or is it some committee that decides?
-
Yes, we all vote. Go to the word ?my? and you will have several selections to choose from. One is ?Booth? for all the contest. Click ?view? and click on the one you want to vote for and save. Pretty easy. Sal ;+)
-
Thanks Sally, I went to the Booth and it was easy! I voted for you to win your Thanksgiving story!
-
Ah, thank you. That is so kind. I am honored you thought mine worthy to win. Stiff completion among the top ranked authors here. Yikes! To God be the glory if I do! xo

Alright Sally you got yourself on bad super cat. I like your story especially the big bad pussy cat beating up on a poor defenseless doggie. :) I can see the headlines now, "Catzilla junior takes over the neighborhood. Keep your dogs behind cages or inside the home. The Top Cat is on the prowl." :)

Comment from KatyM
This was a cute story! lol I can just see Junior taking on the dog. lol My dog, Willow is scared of the kittens that we had. She realized early on that they have nails and she treads lightly when they are around. We have given away 3 of the 4 kittens. There is one little kitten left. I have named him Oreo. I am not sure if Oreo will stay here or if I will let him find a different furever home. Happy Writing, Katy

Thank you Katy for your excellent review and kind comments. I am glad you enjoy my latest Catzilla sequel. Cats are a mystery and it?s nice when they chose to be the hero as Junior was on this day! Poor Megalon did not stand a chance!
All my best,
Sal
Comment from Sugarray77
Haha, Sally. It seems those Catzilla cats just stay in mischief... at least this Jr. seems to do so. Good, creative flow of thought and words. You did a good job describing the dog, Megalon, with his bullying reputation, but Jr. got the best of him. Great job.

Thank you for the excellent review and comments. Cats are a mystery and quite complex! I?m glad this one showed a rush of courage at the right time. Thanks for stopping by!

Comment from Lady Jane
It was little things at first. Junior would steal Megalon's chew bones(,) and I would find them hidden in our yard.
Megalon slept outside(,) and that explained a lot.
Our elderly neighbor two doors down would check our home on extended work days(,) and make sure the mail was brought in and Junior was behaving himself.
The next morning Junior was up and pacing back and forth(.) (I)t was obvious he wanted out. - edit suggestion
Yes(,) folks, it's true! David slew Goliath, Rocky Balboa defeated Apollo Creed and Son of Catzilla beat the snot out of Megalon(,) the dog. - edit suggestion
Haha, this made me chuckle. Itty bitty cat shakes down neighborhood bully. What's not to like. The read was smooth and paced well. I only found a few punctuation snags to point out, nothing major though :) Just a fun, succinct write full of wit and humor. Nicely done, Sally!

Thank you for the excellent review and critiques. Fixed those already. Someone told me last week I use too many commas. Oh well? I can?t please everyone, but I can please you! My friend, Janelle! So glad you liked this.
All my best,
Sal
Comment from Mastery
Hi, Sal I loved this chapter. Your imagery and descriptions are marvelous, like: "One eye was brown and the other a milky-grey, both looking wildly in two different directions. He drooled continuously and left a trail of saliva everywhere he went."
And I loved this closing line:
"Yes folks, it's true! David slew Goliath, Rocky Balboa defeated Apollo Creed and Son of Catzilla beat the snot out of Megalon the dog.
Suggestions if I may: Young children would run at the sight of him as he vicariously roamed the neighborhood. (Get out of the habit of adding "would" in instances like the above: Just make this "children ran at the sight of him . . .etc, etc.
And: "A doggie psychic, he knew there was a dead cat to be reckoned with somewhere on our property." Redo to: It was as if he was a doggie psychic and knew etc etc. . . "
Bless you, my friend. Your writing seems to get better and better.
How in the world do you do it with your failing eyesight?
Bless you and Happy Holidays. Your friend, Bob

Comment from Donka Kristeva
This is the most hilarious write I've read on this site. True I don't usually read Fiction work. I really didn't know what to expect from yours, Sally, until the end of the second paragraph, it was obvious it was going to be a riot... So in short I think your piece is winner.. so much laughter and a sense of this drama unfolding before my eyes. The art work just fits into the image of Megalon, a strange name for a dog, but perhaps not the sort of character this dog displays.

I am so glad you liked my article and that it made you laugh dear Donka! We had a character on television in the 50?s and 60?s named Godzilla. He was a monster and one of his nemesis was Megalon. I took both those names as the inspiration for my Catzilla series. I had a lot of fun with this!
All my best,
Sally
